Just Energy Transition Partnership

Vietnam
Leaders from Vietnam and the International Partners
Group (IPG), including the EU, UK, France, Germany, US,
Italy, Canada, Japan, Norway and Denmark have agreed
a Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).

The Partnership will support Vietnam to deliver on its

ambitious Net Zero 2050 goal, accelerate the peaking of
its green house gas emissions and transition away from
fossil fuels to clean energy.

The JETP will mobilise an initial €17 billion of public and

private finance over the next three to five years to
support Vietnam’s green transition.

Indonesia

The EU and its Member States, acting in a Team Europe approach are a key contributor to the JETP launched
by Indonesia and international partners, including the EU, Denmark, France, Italy and Germany, as well Japan,
USA, Canada, Norway and the UK during the G20 Summit in Bali.

The JETP will mobilise €19.4 billion of public and private finance over the next three to five years to support
Indonesia’s green transition. This includes €2.4 billion that the EU, EIB and Member States intend to mobilise.

Targets include:

Peaking total power sector emissions by 2030, shifting its projected emissions peak forward.

Capping power sector emissions at 290 megatons of CO2 in 2030, down from baseline value of 357.

Establishing a goal to reach net zero emissions in the power sector by 2050, bringing forward Indonesia's
net zero emissions target by ten years.

Accelerating the deployment of renewable energy so that it comprises at least 34 percent of power
generation by 2030, roughly double the total renewables deployment currently planned for this decade.

Green Smart Cities project

The EU funded Smart Green ASEAN Cities programme supports

the ASEAN Member States at national, regional and local level. It deals
with urban environmental and climate change and related governance
issues, focusing on green and smart solutions enabled by digitalisation
and the use of technologies. With an EU contribution of €5.1 million, the
project facilitates cooperation between cities within ASEAN and
between ASEAN and European cities.

Several ASEAN cities have already been selected to benefit from the
project, including Banyuwangi (ID), Banyumas (ID), Sieam Reap (KH),
Sihanouville (KH), Seremban (MY), Kuantan (MY) and Ipoh (MY).
